MAX232 and CT232CN: Only difference is V+? - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Karbos · 16th October 2008, 02:23 AM

From the schematic I am building a simple UART connectivity circuit, it requests a MAX232. After searching my box of stuff, I find a ST232CN which from my datasheet checking is the V+ is different. Anybody want to cross check me?

Its fine it's the TI version, just check the datasheet for the required capacitor value.

I believe that the ST232CN is a ST Microelectronics type

I will use 1uf capacitors (because I already cut them out) and a 22uf bulk capacitor across pins 15 and 16.

Should work and you're right it's ST.
